I needed help to complete my Flickr assignment. So I reached into my Toolbox and pulled out Kim to help me. There is a photo on my blog only because she walked me through it! Thanks, Kim!
I watched the tutorial and read the articles, and I can see that Flickr can be a good thing. Saving your photos online and organizing them with tags sounds good. I can see personal applications for this. I confess I did spend quite a bit of time looking at photos, but they were not related to work! I took a trip down memory lane by looking at photos of my hometown!
But uploading a photo to my blog was very confusing! Another email account, another registration, another password,.... Hopefully I can remember how to do it. I would like to upload some photos I took this weekend at the Storybook Land Festival!
As for using Flickr in Library Land, it could be useful for sharing photos of programs and activities. But I agree with other posts I've read about being careful when posting photos of our patrons, especially children.
I felt exactly the same as you with yet another email, registration, password...I think I now have four email addresses and a long list of usernames/passwords. How can I keep track of them all? I have lots of sticky notes hanging around! :-)
